Whisky Candid Michel Couvreur

In the lineage of characterful whiskies shaped by Michel Couvreur, Candid stands apart through a more direct and expressive style, true to its name. Born from Scottish distillate and aged extensively in Burgundy within casks that once held Xérès wines, this whisky foregrounds an unadorned approach, centred on malt purity and the sincerity of ageing. Bottled without chill filtration, it preserves its full aromatic richness and natural texture.

The nose is ample and generous, marked by notes of dried fruits, almond paste, roasted hazelnut and honey, accompanied by a lightly oxidative quality typical of long sherry cask ageing, plus a delicate touch of peat. The palate is round and profound, with fine substance, developing flavours of prune, fig, gentle spices and cocoa, supported by a lightly woody frame and a persistent finish with candied fruit notes where a peat character of infinite delicacy emerges.

Candid appeals to lovers of gourmand, structured whiskies where cask influence plays a major role without masking the distillate's identity. A whisky for contemplation, ideal after dinner or with dark chocolate, exemplifying Michel Couvreur's unique mastery in the art of ageing.
